miscellaneous Notes.

In consequence of the large increase in bust
ness this year. the Philadelphia & Reading man
agemept has pressed into service every car and
locomotive at its command. Some old engines
that had been consigned to the shops old
fashioned, have been brought out and repaired,
and put upon the road.

The Union Pacific has received five OF ten
monster passenger engines they contracted with
the Rogers locomotive works to buiid for them.
These engines differ from others, not only in
power and weight, but in construction. The
boiler has no fire-box like the ordinary engines,
but is fed through doors in the end of the i'm

HENRICO ROAD MATTERS.
The 3rook-Turnpike and Hanover
Street Casea

The Henrico County Court was in ses-
sion for a short while yesterday and with
out hearing any cases of special interest
adjourned overnntil Thursday, when the
appeal OF the Brook Turnpike Company
will be heard. The road commissioners
condemned four sections of this road as
out of order and reported two sections
only in good repair. On this report the
company was stopped from collecting
tolls until the road is put in good condi-
ton, and the company now wants to be
permitted to charge tolls. Mr.. Conway
Sands represents the persons complaining
of the condition of the pike and Mr..
George p. Haw is counsel for the COM
pany,
On the same day Judge Redd is ex-
pectod to be present to further hear the
question of closing Hanover street, which
runs between the Grove road and Broad
street from the corporation limits TO the
Boulevard. At the last term OF the
court Judge Redd, after hearing argu-
ment, appointed commissioners to look
into the matter, and they will now re-
port that to close the street or road is in
expedient. Some months ago Judge
Minor, upon applica ion of persons own
ing property in that locality, ordered the
opening of the street, and now other
persons interested are endeavoring to
have it closed.
